Ontario's firefighters are second to none. Every day, they put their lives on the line for us. They suit up and run straight into danger. I'm honoured to welcome the first endorsement from @opffa in nearly 15 years and their first ever for our PC team. Together, we'll protect Ontario.

Thank you, @DeborahStVicto1, for taking the time to write about Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month. This article highlights the risks firefighters face—putting their lives on the line while battling toxic exposures that increase their chances of developing cancer no matter how much they do to protect themselves.
